Boudoir Photography and Body Confidence: A New Way Women Are Healing

Boudoir Photography and Body Confidence: A New Way Women Are Healing
What if the very thing you were taught to hide was actually the doorway to more confidence, power, and freedom in your life and business? Most women don’t avoid boudoir because it’s “naughty.” They avoid it because they’ve been trained to be small. Quiet. Contained. To check the “good girl” boxes and pretend their bodies are something to fix instead of something to celebrate. If you’ve ever felt like your body was something to fight, tolerate, or hide… this episode is going to shake something awake in you. Episode Summary In this powerful conversation, we dive into the deeper meaning behind boudoir photography and how it can shift a woman’s confidence, body image, and inner power. We talk about cultural conditioning, shame around women’s bodies, the “good girl” rules we inherited, and how reclaiming your sensuality impacts the way you lead, love, and run your business. You’ll hear why boudoir has nothing to do with being thin, perfect, or sexy-for-someone-else… and everything to do with owning your story, your body, and your voice. We also explore body neutrality, generational belief systems, and the way feminine power actually works in real life. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ➡️ How boudoir photography became a life-changing awakening ➡️ Why most women are holding beliefs about their bodies that aren’t even theirs ➡️ Why “good girl energy” is the fastest way to stay small ➡️ The real reason women feel disconnected from sensuality ➡️ How body neutrality might be more healing than body positivity ➡️ What boudoir reveals about shame, power, desire, and permission ➡️ How stepping into your sensuality impacts your business and leadership ➡️ The most beautiful part of feminine power that no one teaches us Key Takeaways 📌 The way you think about your body isn’t truth. 📌 Confidence doesn’t come from your size. It comes from your self-permission. 📌 Most women don’t need to love their body. They need to stop hating it. 📌 Sensuality is creative power, and most women have never been taught how to hold it. 📌 When a woman sees her body as a miracle instead of a problem, everything in her life shifts. Why This Matters for You How you see your body shapes how you show up in every room. If you feel small, you lead small. If you believe you’re “too much,” you start shrinking yourself. If you carry shame around sensuality, you block desire… and desire is the fuel of feminine business. You can’t build a spacious, aligned, feminine-led business while fighting the very body that runs it. This episode isn’t just about boudoir. It’s about reclaiming a part of yourself that you’ve been taught to ignore. This Episode Is For You If… ✔️ You’ve tried to feel confident in your body but nothing sticks ✔️ You grew up with “good girl” rules that still shape how you see yourself ✔️ You’re tired of shrinking, pleasing, or playing small ✔️ You want to feel safe expressing desire, power, or sensuality ✔️ You want a business that flows with who you are, not who you’re “supposed” to be ✔️ You want to step into feminine leadership without losing yourself Meet Liz Liz Hansen is the owner and photographer at Chicago Boudoir Photography, a studio that empowers women to feel confident in their bodies, relationships and lives. Liz opened her commercial studio in 2018 and has since photographed more than 2,000 women.

Why Motivation Doesn’t Work and How to Stay Inspired in Your Business

Why Motivation Doesn’t Work and How to Stay Inspired in Your Business
You know that moment when you sit down at your desk, open your laptop, and think… “Okay, what should I post today?” And then instant energy drop. 😩 You’re staring at the blinking cursor, already exhausted before you’ve even started. Somewhere between “be disciplined” and “stay consistent no matter what,” we forgot the point. And for so many women, we’re forcing ourselves to do things we don’t really wanna do in the attempt to build a life we love (sounds kind of like a sick trick). In this episode, we’re talking about how to stop chasing motivation and start creating from inspiration, pleasure, and “heck yes” energy instead. Episode Summary In this episode, you’ll learn how to: ➡️ Replace motivation with inspired action that feels juicy and alive ➡️ Build your business from pleasure instead of pressure ➡️ Trust your inner rhythm so consistency feels natural, not forced ➡️ Stay anchored to your purpose even when results don’t match (yet) ➡️ Handle the haters and trolls with grace (and maybe even use them for content 😉) If this resonates, make sure you listen to next because when your energy leaks slow you down, no amount of motivation will fix it. Key Takeaways 💖 What if momentum didn’t come from pushing but from what lights you up? 🌙 You might be mistaking discipline for alignment. And it’s quietly draining the magic out of your business. 🔥 The thing you call “inconsistency” might actually be intuition, and you’re ignoring it. 🌸 The opinions that sting the most are usually proof you’re onto something powerful. Why It Matters You’re not here to tick boxes or “stay consistent.” You’re here to change lives, make an impact, and build something that feels alive. When you shift from chasing motivation to following inspiration, your business stops draining you and starts energizing you. Your content hits deeper. Your offers land stronger. And your days start to feel like… you again. This Episode Is for You If… ✔️ You’re exhausted from trying to “keep up” with content schedules and strategy hacks ✔️ You crave more flow, fun, and creativity in your work ✔️ You want to build a business that lights you up not one that burns you out ✔️ You’re ready to lead from intuition, not obligation Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

Pleasure, Power, and The Hidden Key to Feminine Leadership Nobody Talks About with Brooke Jean

Pleasure, Power, and The Hidden Key to Feminine Leadership Nobody Talks About with Brooke Jean
Tell me if this sounds familiar: you’re hustling to be the perfect mom, perfect partner, perfect boss… and secretly wondering if it’s slowly killing you. No wonder we’re exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering if this is really what life is supposed to feel like. In this episode, I sat down with Brooke Jean, therapist and founder of Unperfected®, to unpack the perfection pressure on modern women and how it’s fueling burnout, anxiety, autoimmune disorders, and disconnection from our own desires. Brooke’s mission is clear: it’s time to unsubscribe from “perfect” and reclaim the joy, truth, and power you’ve always had inside. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ✔ Why “modern women expectations” are breaking our nervous systems ✔ The sneaky ways perfectionism shows up as protection (and how to heal it) ✔ Feminine leadership vs hustle culture and how to know which one you’re operating from ✔ The dance between masculine + feminine energy in business, motherhood, and relationships ✔ How to reclaim your energy and channel it into what actually matters Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Perfectionism isn’t who you are, it’s a survival strategy. 2️⃣ Your body holds the truth of what you desire. 3️⃣ Feminine leadership isn’t about being “soft.” It’s about desire, power, and creation with masculine structure to support it. 4️⃣ Burnout isn’t inevitable. When you unsubscribe from the pressure, you make space for wealth, pleasure, and sustainable success. Why It Matters If you keep hustling to meet impossible standards, you’ll stay stuck in survival: burned out, resentful, and secretly Googling “is it normal to fantasize about getting the flu just to rest?” But when you start leading from your truth (not someone else’s rules), you reclaim your energy, soften into your feminine, and finally create success without self-sacrifice. This is how you scale your business, enjoy your family, and build a legacy you actually want to live. This Episode Is For You If… ✔️ You feel like you’re doing all the things, but never enough ✔️ You’ve checked every box, yet still don’t feel fulfilled ✔️ You’re tired of burning out but scared to slow down ✔️ You’re craving a business and life that feel aligned, joyful, and true to YOU Meet Brooke Brooke Jean is a therapist turned truth-teller, speaker, and founder of Unperfected® — a brand and methodology that helps high-achieving, anxious women drop the pressure and rise in their power. Through nervous system work, somatic practices, and identity alchemy, she guides women to heal perfectionism, reconnect with their bodies, and live a wildly alive, unapologetic life. Whether she’s leading a corporate training, dancing barefoot at a retreat, or dropping soul truth on The Unperfected Pod, Brooke brings a rare blend of psychological depth, real-world leadership, and raw, unfiltered heart.

Why High-Achieving Women Burn Out (and How to Finally Break the Cycle)

Why High-Achieving Women Burn Out (and How to Finally Break the Cycle)
If you’ve ever pushed through exhaustion with another cup of coffee, ignored your period cramps to meet a deadline, or worn “busy” like a badge of honor, you’re not alone. You want the thriving business and the thriving body, but right now it feels like success is costing you your health. This week’s guest, Charlène Gisèle, knows that story all too well. Once a high-powered attorney sleeping less than three hours a night, she hit full-blown burnout before discovering how to rebuild her life from the inside out. And her story is a roadmap for every ambitious woman who’s ready to succeed without sacrificing her body. Episode Summary In this powerful conversation, Charlène and I uncover what burnout really is (hint: it’s not just being tired) and how women can recover before hitting rock bottom. We talk about the signs of burnout in women, the hidden ways our nervous system and hormones reveal when we’re out of alignment, and how nervous system regulation and cycle syncing can become your greatest business advantage. Charlène shares her journey from workaholic to high-performance coach, offering science-backed and deeply feminine strategies to protect your energy and create sustainable success. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep growing your business without burning out, this episode is your wake-up call. What You’ll Hear in This Episode 🌿 The three D’s of burnout that most women ignore until it’s too late 😴 How Charlène went from chronic insomnia and anxiety to reclaiming her vitality 💡 Why “awareness is a gift” (and the first step to lasting change) 🔥 The surprising truth about ambition, addiction, and why women burn out 🗓 Practical ways to integrate cycle syncing even in corporate jobs Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Burnout doesn’t happen overnight: it builds quietly through ignored signals like fatigue, anxiety, and irregular cycles. 2️⃣ “Awareness is a gift.” Simply noticing your patterns is enough to start change. 3️⃣ Your body is not an inconvenience: it’s the foundation of your creativity, ideas, and sustainable performance. 4️⃣ Recovery doesn’t require drastic changes overnight. Small, consistent shifts (like meditation, nourishing food, or mindful breaks) compound over time. 5️⃣ You can achieve big goals without living in hustle mode, success is possible without sacrificing your health. Why It Matters Because staying stuck in hustle culture comes at a cost: your energy, your health, and the very life you’re working so hard to build. If you don’t shift, burnout will rob you of your impact, your income, and your joy. But when you learn to listen to your body, regulate your nervous system, and sync your work with your natural rhythms, you unlock more freedom, creativity, and energy than you thought possible. This Episode Is For You If… 💼 You’re ambitious but exhausted, constantly wondering how to keep up without burning out. 😑 You’ve hit the “meh” stage in life going through the motions instead of feeling lit up. 💃 You’re ready to build sustainable success without sacrificing your health, hormones, or happiness. 🛑 You’ve tried the productivity hacks, but you still feel like you’re running on fumes. 🌸 You want practical, science-backed tools to prevent burnout and feel more alive in your body.

The Hidden Ick in Online Business (And How to Stay in Integrity While Building a Business You Love)
10/21/2025
The Hidden Ick in Online Business (And How to Stay in Integrity While Building a Business You Love)
The online business space can feel like walking through a carnival funhouse. One moment you’re dazzled by shiny promises of “six figures in six weeks,” and the next you’re clutching your wallet wondering if you’ve just been sold snake oil in a Canva PDF. If you’ve ever felt the ick of marketing that doesn’t match the delivery, or wondered whether you’re “enough” to share your gifts yet, you’re going to feel so seen in this conversation with Emily Russell. Episode Summary In this juicy episode, I sit down with Emily Russell to talk about what’s really happening in the online coaching world. We talk about the icky marketing tactics that make your skin crawl, how to stay rooted in integrity while running a profitable business, and why imposter syndrome keeps so many brilliant women stuck on the sidelines. If you’ve ever questioned whether your voice matters or if you’re “ready” to share your work, this conversation will remind you that you don’t need another certification to start changing lives. You need courage, integrity, and a little bit of humility along the way. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔️ The truth about the “ick factor” in online business (and how to spot it before you invest) ✔️ Why some coaches market well but fail to deliver results (and how to avoid becoming one of them) ✔️The human craving for belonging and how that plays out in communities, cults, and coaching spaces ✔️ The difference between leading with integrity vs. creating a facade of success ✔️ How to know when you’re ready to share your gifts (hint: you already are) ✔️ The fine line between confidence, humility, and delusion in business growth Key Takeaways ✔️ Integrity matters more than hype. Marketing might sell, but authenticity and delivery build longevity. ✔️ Belonging is a human need but awareness keeps you from slipping into “us vs. them” dynamics. ✔️ You don’t have to be at the top of the mountain to guide someone else up the trail. ✔️ Imposter syndrome keeps you waiting for “one more certification” but your gifts are too valuable to hide. ✔️ Believe you’re the best while staying humble enough to receive feedback. That’s where growth happens. Why It Matters Too many women (maybe you included) downplay their brilliance because they don’t want to be seen as salesy, pushy, or fake. But hiding your gifts serves no one. You miss opportunities, your future clients miss out on the transformation only you can deliver, and you stay stuck second-guessing yourself instead of creating the freedom-filled business you crave. The truth is, your imperfect, integrity-filled leadership is exactly what the industry needs right now. This Episode Is For You If… ✔️ You’re tired of cringy online marketing tactics and want to build a business in alignment. ✔️ You’re a coach or entrepreneur who’s been wondering if you’re “ready” yet. ✔️ You’ve invested in programs that over-promised and under-delivered. ✔️ You crave a business model that energizes you instead of draining you. ✔️ You want to learn how to discern what’s real vs. what’s hype in the online space. Meet Emily Emily Evans Russell is a single mom, 6-figure business owner, and an Intuitive Life Coach & Breathwork Facilitator. She helps women master their nervous systems so they can create businesses that energize rather than deplete them. Because a woman who feels fully alive and present creates impact everywhere she goes. Emily brings mastery in trauma-informed breathwork, somatic practices, and energy healing to create profound transformation.

No One Is Talking About THIS Reason Women Burnout in Business
10/14/2025
No One Is Talking About THIS Reason Women Burnout in Business
You know that feeling when you’ve been running so hard that suddenly… your body, your brain, and even your bank account are like: nope, we’re done? Burnout isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a full-body STOP sign. And yet, most women entrepreneurs keep pushing through because they think rest equals failure. My guest today, Kelly Brock, knows this story all too well. After building multiple six-figure businesses, she hit burnout again, this time with kids, employees, and a whole lot of expectations weighing on her shoulders. What she discovered in that breakdown is exactly what we’re talking about today: the seasons of business, how to actually enjoy the present moment, and why authenticity is the only strategy that never goes out of style. Episode Summary In this refreshingly honest episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, Kelly Brock and I talk about the real cost of hustle culture. Kelly shares her journey of walking away from a thriving business, taking a social media sabbatical, and rediscovering what presence, pleasure, and alignment really look like as a CEO, mom, and woman. If you’ve ever felt stuck on the hamster wheel of bigger goals, higher revenue, and non-stop content creation, this conversation is your permission slip to breathe. We dive into the natural rhythms of business, why building around your “summer season” is a trap, and how authenticity will always be your most magnetic asset. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ✔️ The hidden danger of building your entire business on your “summer energy” ✔️ Why burnout is more than exhaustion: it’s a sign you’re out of alignment ✔️ How a social media sabbatical revealed Kelly’s hidden attachment to dopamine + validation ✔️ The surprising link between presence, prosperity, and play ✔️ Why you cannot automate authenticity (and what to do instead) Key Takeaways ✔️ Seasons of business are just as real as the seasons of the year ✔️ Presence is a practice. If you can’t enjoy today, you’ll miss the very life you’re working so hard to create. ✔️ Authenticity vibrates higher than perfectly curated content. Connection beats curation every time. ✔️ Burnout isn’t failure, it’s feedback. Let the “dark night” refine you instead of rushing past it. Why It Matters If you’re in a season where growth feels slow (or like everything’s falling apart), this episode is your reminder: nothing is wasted. Every season: spring, summer, fall, winter serves a purpose. You don’t need to keep proving yourself by hitting bigger numbers. You don’t need to show up online 24/7. And you definitely don’t need to burn yourself down to build yourself back up. Your worth isn’t tied to your revenue. Your value isn’t measured in likes. And when you stop chasing “more,” you’ll finally have space to receive what you actually want: freedom, presence, and overflow. This Episode Is For You If… ➡️ You’re feeling the sting of burnout (again) and wondering how to climb out ➡️ You’ve been comparing yourself to mentors or peers in a totally different season of life ➡️ You’ve ever felt addicted to social media validation and craved a break ➡️ You want to build a business that supports your whole life not just your highlight reel Meet Kelly Kelly Brock is an entrepreneur and CEO of Kelly Brock Co., a coaching company that empowers women to live out authentic and abundant lives.

The Secret to How to Run Your Business With More Ease
10/07/2025
The Secret to How to Run Your Business With More Ease
You’ve read the books. You’ve followed the strategies. You’ve checked every box the “experts” told you to. And yet… your business still feels heavier than it should. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re doing something wrong (spoiler: you’re not), today’s conversation is going to feel like a warm exhale. Episode Summary In this episode of The Cycle Advantage, I sit down with Jillian Dolberry to talk about what it really takes to build a business rooted in alignment, not hustle. We dig into the messy middle of entrepreneurship: unlearning outdated rules, finding your values, releasing internal pressure, and creating systems that honor both your body and your business. If you’ve been craving permission to grow with peace over pressure, this one is for you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔️ How to unlearn the “rules of business” you’ve inherited and create ones that actually fit you ✔️ Why pressure isn’t always a good motivator (and what to choose instead) ✔️ How to give yourself permission to move things on your calendar without guilt ✔️ The surprising connection between personal healing and business growth ✔️ Why peace and pleasure may be your most untapped business strategies Key Takeaways ➡️ Curiosity is powerful. Asking “why am I feeling this way?” can reveal patterns and programming you didn’t know were running the show. ➡️ Peace overrides pressure. Sustainable growth doesn’t come from hustling harder: it comes from aligning your work with your energy. ➡️ Your body always counts. Burnout doesn’t have to scream at you before you pay attention. Honor the signals early. ➡️ Unlearning is as important as learning. What worked for someone else (or your parents in the ’90s) may not work for you now and that’s okay. ➡️ Permission creates power. Moving tasks, slowing down, and working from joy can unlock more magnetism than forcing yourself forward. Why It Matters If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through business, telling yourself that hustle = success, this conversation is your reminder: you don’t have to earn success by suffering for it. Your future self, the one who’s working fewer hours, attracting aligned clients, and enjoying her life is built on different rules. This Episode Is For You If… ✨ You’re exhausted from “doing all the right things” but not seeing results ✨ You’re constantly comparing your progress to other entrepreneurs ✨ You want permission to rest, slow down, and still be wildly successful ✨ You crave systems that support you instead of suffocate you ✨ You want to believe in yourself again (and need someone to remind you it’s possible) Meet Jillian Jillian Dolberry is an Ops Consultant and Team Strategist for women entrepreneurs and host of The Grace-Filled CEO Podcast. In addition to devoting her heart and time to her family, she helps busy women honor their values and find consistent grace while trying to leave every business better than she found it. Jillian has become a master of setting up boundaries, streamlined systems, Increasing profit from the inside out, and navigating hard conversations with her “honor everyone in the room” approach.

Why Trying to Look “Professional” Is Killing Your Business
09/30/2025
Why Trying to Look “Professional” Is Killing Your Business
Your business isn’t stalled because you’re lazy. It’s stalled because you’re waiting until you “look professional” enough to show up or you’re stuck in the self-help hamster wheel, journaling on your limiting beliefs but avoiding the scary action that actually moves the needle. Sound familiar? (Yeah, me too.) That’s exactly what Kimberly Spencer and I dive into in this juicy, real-talk episode. Episode Summary: Kimberly Spencer, an award-winning coach, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author joined me to unravel the three big traps ambitious women fall into: perfection disguised as professionalism, ignoring the natural cycles of business, and hiding in personal development instead of taking action. This conversation will remind you that your business isn’t meant to be linear, polished, or perfect. It’s meant to evolve with you messy bun, winter seasons, limiting beliefs and all. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: ➡️ Why “professional” often means procrastinating and what professionalism actually is ➡️ How to recognize the season your business is in (and stop shaming yourself for it) ➡️ The sneaky way personal development can keep you stuck instead of moving forward ➡️ Why courageous, imperfect action is always more powerful than waiting to feel ready ➡️ How aligning with your natural rhythms creates momentum without burnou Key Takeaways: ✅ Professionalism is an energy, not a polished backdrop or blazer. ✅ Business moves in cycles: spring, summer, fall, winter and each has value. ✅ Limiting beliefs don’t need to be “cleared”, they just need to be acknowledged so you can act anyway. ✅ The most magnetic leaders aren’t perfect (they’re authentic, courageous, and consistent with their commitments) Why It Matters: The cost of staying stuck in these traps is huge. You waste energy trying to look the part, you shame yourself for natural slowdowns, and you keep telling yourself you’re “working on your mindset” while avoiding the actions that would actually bring in clients. The future version of you isn’t waiting to feel polished, healed, or ready…she’s showing up courageously, honoring her seasons, and taking aligned action even with fear in the room. This Episode is For You If… ✅ You’ve been waiting until things “look professional” to take action. ✅ You’re in a slow season and worried it means you’re failing. ✅ You’ve done all the mindset work but still feel stuck. ✅ You want your business to feel more cyclical, natural, and aligned. ✅ You’re ready to lead with authenticity and courage instead of perfection. Meet Kimberly Kimberly Spencer is an award-winning high-performance, trauma-informed coach and trainer, Amazon best-selling author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of CrownYourself.com, helping visionary leaders transform their self-limiting stories, build their empire, stand out fearlessly, and make the income and the impact they deserve.

The Shocking Stories of Women Thriving in Male Dominated Fields

The Shocking Stories of Women Thriving in Male Dominated Fields
Have you ever felt like you had to shrink yourself just to “fit” into the room? Like the louder, bolder, more buttoned-up version of you is the only one allowed to succeed in certain spaces? You’re not alone, and my guest today proves that the exact opposite is true. Episode Summary In this episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast, I sit down with Emily Apollonio, founder of Interstellar Performance Labs and the architect of the STAR Program. Emily’s real breakthrough didn’t come from another credential, certification, or degree. It came from choosing to fully embody her authentic self (yes, fringe sleeves, glitter, and all). If you’ve ever wrestled with self-doubt, hustling for validation, or wondering if you’re “too much” in your work or business, this conversation will light a fire under you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ➡️ The surprising truth about female leadership in aerospace and what it’s really like for women in male-dominated industries. ➡️ Why self-awareness is more powerful than stacking credentials (and how it shapes your influence as a leader). ➡️ Emily’s journey from aircraft accident investigator to spaceflight analog missions (yes, training like astronauts on Earth!). ➡️ How embracing her cycle and feminine leadership traits helped Emily ditch burnout and lead with confidence. Key Takeaways ✅ Authenticity is magnetic. When you show up as your true self, you actually gain credibility, not lose it. ✅ Self-awareness beats another degree. Real leadership starts with knowing yourself, not just collecting titles. ✅ Your femininity is an asset, not a liability. Traits like communication, connection, and intuition are desperately needed in high-stakes industries. ✅ Burnout isn’t required. Cycle syncing and feminine rhythms can help you thrive even in high-pressure environments. ✅ Confidence is built like muscle. Strength in one area of life ripples into every other part of who you are. Why It Matters If you’re tired of hustling for worthiness, working harder, chasing validation, or wondering when you’ll finally feel like enough, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to prove yourself through exhaustion. Authentic, feminine leadership isn’t just “allowed” in male-dominated spaces… it’s the revolution we’ve been waiting for. Emily’s story proves that you can be playful and powerful, feminine and fierce, glitter-loving and grounded and still command the respect of your industry. This Episode Is for You If… ➡️ You’re a woman in a male-dominated field (or online space) who’s tired of proving herself. ➡️ You’re craving permission to show up fully as YOU without the mask, without the hustle. ➡️ You’ve ever thought “Do I need another certification just to be taken seriously?” ➡️ You’re curious about how cycle syncing can create more ease, productivity, and confidence. ➡️ You’re ready to stop dimming your light and start leading with your full brilliance. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out? If you’re a coach, healer, or feminine leader scaling to $10K–$20K months and tired of hustle-based strategies, here’s your next step… ✔ : A 6-week business planning program that teaches female entrepreneurs how to create a cycle-synced business strategy, build consistent $10K months, and grow without burnout.

The Secret to Leading Without Losing Yourself
09/16/2025
The Secret to Leading Without Losing Yourself
If you’ve ever thought “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I just handle this like everyone else?”... this one’s for you. Because nothing’s wrong with you. You’re not “too emotional.” You’re not lazy for wanting more freedom in your schedule. And you’re definitely not broken because hustle culture makes you want to burn it all down. This week on The Cycle Advantage Podcast, I sat down with Jessica Steele, a former high school principal who walked away from a picture-perfect career to become a leadership and energetic alignment coach. We went all in on the conversations most people avoid…the ones about humanity, emotional intelligence, and what it really takes to lead without losing yourself. Why This Conversation Matters We live in a world that celebrates doing over being, reacting over pausing, and “leaving your feelings at the door” like that’s a badge of honor. But suppressing your emotions doesn’t make you stronger; it disconnects you from yourself. And when you’re disconnected from yourself, it’s impossible to lead with clarity, empathy, or confidence. Jess and I talked about what happens when you finally stop trying to fit into a life you never consciously chose… and start creating one that actually works for you. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ➡️ How Jess climbed the career ladder without ever stopping to ask if it was her ladder to climb ➡️ The turning point moment that made her question everything she thought she wanted ➡️ The cost of living by society’s script (and why so many women don’t realize they’re doing it) ➡️ The difference between reacting to a trigger and carrying someone else’s energy ➡️ A simple question that can diffuse almost any emotional outburst ➡️ Why pausing before reacting will change your relationships at home and at work ➡️ The role of meditation, stillness, and nervous system regulation in leadership ➡️ How to raise kids who see differences as normal and humanity as non-negotiable 3 Key Takeaways You Can Use Today ✅ Your emotions are data, not flaws. Anger, fear, sadness… they’re all information. When you learn to sit with them instead of suppressing them, you stop making decisions from a triggered place. ✅ Ask yourself: “What’s true for me right now?” That tiny pause between feeling and reacting can be the difference between a fight and a productive conversation. ✅ Lead yourself first. You can’t offer empathy, clarity, or grounded leadership to others if you haven’t practiced it with yourself. Why It Matters If you’ve been living on autopilot, following rules that were never meant for you, and measuring success by someone else’s yardstick, you will burn out. Not because you’re weak, but because you’re human. And humans need connection, stillness, and space to breathe. When you reclaim your humanity and lead from that place, you don’t just create better results… you create a better life. This Episode Is For You If… ➡️ You’re tired of white-knuckling your way through work and life ➡️ You want to respond thoughtfully instead of reacting instantly ➡️ You’ve been told emotions don’t belong in leadership (and you’re ready to call BS) ➡️ You’re craving inner alignment before another strategy, hack, or to-do list item ➡️ You want to model emotional intelligence and empathy for the next generation Meet Jessica Jessica Steele is a leadership and energetic alignment coach who’s spent nearly two decades transforming lives through purpose-driven leadership. With a background in psychology, secondary education, and instructional design, she’s served as a high school principal and held various leadership roles, all while staying rooted in her mission to empower others. Her journey hasn’t been linear—it’s been guided by intuition, soulful pivots, and a deep trust in her inner knowing. From one-on-one and small group coaching sessions to large-scale PD for schools and organizations and launching the Dear Jess app and The Empowered Educator Series, Jess continues to merge strategy with soul to elevate leaders from the inside out. A published author, passionate creative, and devoted student of energy, Jess brings empathy, alignment, and authenticity into every space she enters. Whether she’s coaching, hiking in nature, or creating tools for conscious leadership, she leads with love—and lives with intention. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

The Secret to Making Confident Life Decisions (Without Second-Guessing Yourself)
09/09/2025
The Secret to Making Confident Life Decisions (Without Second-Guessing Yourself)
Have you ever been halfway through a decision and thought, “Wait… is this even my choice, or am I just doing what I should?” That’s where this conversation is going today. Because if you’ve been feeling pulled in a million directions, chasing everyone else’s expectations, and secretly wondering why you can’t just trust yourself… it’s not because you’re broken. It’s because you’ve been trained (since you were tiny) to put everyone’s opinions above your own. Today, I’m sitting down with Jessica Frew…wife, ex-wife, stepmom, and certified BOLD action taker to talk about how to ditch the “shoulds,” make confident, conscious decisions, and live in a way that actually feels good (not just looks good on Instagram). She’s here to help you stop overthinking, people pleasing, and endlessly justifying your choices and start owning your voice. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✔ How to tell if you’re living from your truth or from decades of conditioning ✔ Why most women don’t actually know what brings them joy (and how to figure it out) ✔ The sneaky ways we pass “shoulds” down to our kids without realizing it ✔ How to navigate other people’s opinions without losing yourself in the process ✔ The decision-making framework Jessica swears by (and why it works for any life choice) ✔ How to shift from “What will people think?” to “What do I really want?” Key Takeaways ✔ Your worth isn’t up for debate (stop proving it and start living it.) ✔ Every decision is just information (not right, not wrong, just feedback.) ✔ Small self-honoring choices matter (it’s not about spa days, it’s about the tiny daily actions that make you feel good.) ✔ You can hold boundaries kindly (respecting your needs and others’ feelings isn’t mutually exclusive.) ✔ Your conditioning isn’t your destiny (you can rewrite your beliefs and how you show up, starting now.) Why This Matters Because staying in the land of “should” costs you everything: your energy, your joy, your health, and your sense of self. When you learn to make decisions from alignment (not fear of judgment), you stop second-guessing, you move faster toward what you want, and you actually enjoy the process. Imagine walking into any situation whether it’s a business opportunity, a parenting choice, or even just a Friday night plan and knowing exactly what’s right for you. That’s what’s on the other side of this work. This Episode Is For You If… ✔ You constantly second-guess your choices (and replay them in your head for days) ✔ You feel like you’re living your life on other people’s terms ✔ You want to make confident decisions without the mental tug-of-war ✔ You’re tired of wondering “What will they think?” every time you do something for yourself ✔ You want to model self-trust and confidence for your kids Links & Resources ✔ Grab Jessica’s book: ✔ Connect with Jessica on Instagram: @jessicafrew Meet Jessica Jessica Frew is a wife, ex-wife, mom, stepmom, and BOLD action taker. She believes that you find true peace, connection and confidence by making your next best decision.

Why Letting Go of Your Old Self Might Be the Best Thing You Ever Do

Why Letting Go of Your Old Self Might Be the Best Thing You Ever Do
Ever feel like your life is one big, safe bubble… …and yet there’s this whisper in your soul saying, “There’s more”? That’s exactly where Whitney Joy found herself before she walked away from her husband, her house, and her career in one single day. No backup plan. No safety net. Just seven blank passport pages and a decision to rewrite her life entirely. This conversation is an open permission slip to any woman standing on the edge of change whether you’re about to leap, have just been pushed, or are clinging to the railing wondering what’s next. Whitney and I dive into what it really takes to shed old identities, face the unknown, and step into a version of yourself you haven’t met yet (but she’s going to blow your mind). Inside the Episode, We Talked About: In this episode of The Cycle Advantage Podcast, Whitney Joy shares her wild, raw, and soul-stretching journey from adrenaline sports and luxury events… to solo world travel, spiritual transformation, and motherhood. We unpack: ✔️ The identity shifts we face in motherhood, career pivots, and big life changes. ✔️ Why fear of the unknown keeps so many women stuck and how to dance with it instead of hide from it. ✔️ The sneaky ways we cling to our old selves (and how to lovingly let them go). ✔️ Why your next evolution might not look anything like you think and why that’s beautiful. If you’ve been craving change but clinging to comfort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. What You’ll Hear in This Episode ✨ The moment Whitney walked away from “the perfect life” in 24 hours. ✨ How seven blank passport pages became her roadmap to reinvention. ✨ Why your ego is not the enemy (it just needs better boundaries). ✨ The myth of “getting back to your old self” (and why she’s gone for good). ✨How to shift from fearing change to playing with possibility. Key Takeaways You Can Implement Today ✨ Change isn’t the villain. It’s the portal to your next chapter if you let it be. ✨ Fear of the unknown shrinks when you zoom out. The “worst case scenario” usually has about 57 detours before it gets there. ✨ Permission is an inside job. No mentor, spouse, or Instagram guru can give it to you. ✨ You’re not starting over you’re evolving. Pieces of your old self come with you, just in a new shape. Why It Matters If you’ve been sitting on that metaphorical porch, whining on the nail (yep, we went there), this episode might just be the nudge to get up. Your “safe” bubble might be fine… but fine is not where your soul catches fire. Whitney’s story is proof that you can blow up the script you were handed, start fresh, and create something wildly better even if you have no idea what that looks like yet. This Episode Is for You If... ✔️ You’re feeling stuck in a life that looks “good on paper” but feels flat inside. ✔️ You’re navigating a big transition: career, relationships, motherhood, identity. ✔️ You’re afraid of change but more afraid of staying the same. ✔️ You’ve been waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay to leap. Meet Whitney Joy A midwestern-born, adrenaline-sports athlete and seasoned mountain climber, turned solo-travel, spiritual philanthropist, Author Whitney Joy has lived many lives in many worlds including Wisconsin, Colorado, Copenhagen, Paris, New Zealand, and San Francisco. With a dynamic background in marketing, business strategy, gemology, and luxury events, Whitney has always been passionate about bringing people together and creating lasting connections through shared experiences. In recent years, Whitney has turned her attention inward, diving into the realms of spirituality, personal growth and transformation. She wrote Seven Blank Pages as a permission slip to her younger self, but it turned into a compass for anyone standing on the edge. It inspires readers to embrace change, follow their hearts, and discover the magic that we are all capable of. Whitney now lives in Austin, TX with her husband and two young children, and works as an author and inspirational speaker.

You Don’t Need to Have It All Figured Out to Grow with Renae Saager

You Don’t Need to Have It All Figured Out to Grow with Renae Saager
If I’m being honest… there’s no part of me that thrives on pretending I have it all together. There’s no finish line when it comes to growth. We spend so much time trying to “get there,” whatever there means. But real growth isn’t about arriving, it’s about learning how to hold curiosity and compassion for yourself while you’re in the middle of it. You can change your mind. You can get it wrong. You can evolve while still loving who you already are. And that’s exactly why this week’s conversation with Renae Saager is so freaking good. We sat down and had a real conversation about addiction, recovery, navigating judgment (especially from yourself), and learning to embrace growth even when it’s messy, uncomfortable, and makes zero sense in the moment. Because here’s what we both know: Self-acceptance doesn’t show up when life’s picture-perfect. It shows up when you decide you’re allowed to evolve, even while things feel unfinished. What We Broke Down Inside This Episode ✔️ Why honest to goodness real self awareness is the first step toward any real growth ✔️ How to handle judgment both from others and from yourself ✔️ What personal evolution really looks like (spoiler: it’s not a straight line) ✔️ The tension between intuition and logic especially in big life decisions ✔️ Why embracing discomfort is a sign you’re on the right path ✔️ How slowing down feels hard but might be exactly what you need ✔️ Why “enoughness” isn’t something you find (it’s something you choose) ✔️ The balance between worthiness, fun, and personal responsibility If You’ve Ever Felt Stuck Between Self-Acceptance and Wanting More... This episode is for you if: ✨ You’re craving more growth, but don’t want to lose yourself chasing it ✨ You’ve struggled with slowing down and trusting your own timing ✨ You want permission to pursue life with more curiosity, fun, and enoughness ✨ You know there’s more ahead, but you’re learning how to love right where you are This is your reminder that you’re already doing enough, even while you grow.

What They Never Taught Us About Sex (But Should Have) with Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer
So many of us grew up absorbing the message that being a “good girl” means being quiet, agreeable, non-needy, and definitely not too sexual. But that version of womanhood has expired. Because when we stay silent about our sexual health, we disconnect from our own power. We make ourselves small. And we miss out on the deeply fulfilling, body-connected, wildly radiant life that’s meant for us. In this powerful, soul-stirring episode, Dr. Stephanie and I went deep into the real talk about how your hormones influence desire, arousal, and emotional connection throughout your cycle and life seasons. We also opened the door to conversations most of us never got to have growing up but desperately need as grown women now. Inside This Episode, We Dive Into: ✨ The shifting narrative around sexuality and why it’s finally happening ✨ What different generations really learned about sex (and what they didn’t) ✨ How to talk to your kids about sex without the shame you were raised with ✨ Breaking the taboo around sexual wellness (and why silence is harming us) ✨ The power of safe, open dialogue in getting the care you need ✨ Why intimacy looks different for everyone and how to own your unique experience ✨ Why seeking help for your sexual wellbeing is not a failure ✨ How your hormonal shifts impact your body, brain, and libido ✨ What the future of sexual wellness and education could look like This Episode Is For You If… ✅ You were never taught how to talk about sex, and now you're trying to figure it out ✅ You’ve felt “off” hormonally but were told to just push through ✅ You carry shame around desire, pleasure, or even asking for what you want ✅ You want to raise empowered kids but don’t know where to start ✅ You’re ready to break generational patterns and lead from self-trust ✅ You’re craving wholeness in your body, your relationships, and your voice Meet Dr. Stephanie Z Dr. Stephanie Zwonitzer, DNP, CRNP is originally from Wisconsin but now calls the East Coast home.

What Happens When Your Energy No Longer Matches Your Brand with Julie Chandler
You’ve probably heard it a hundred times: “Just be consistent.” Show up every day. Push through resistance. Stay in momentum. But what if your “lack of consistency” isn’t the problem?

Why Feeling Good Is Your Most Underrated Business Strategy

Why Feeling Good Is Your Most Underrated Business Strategy
What If Prioritizing Pleasure Made You More Money? How often do you check in with how you’re feeling while running your business? If you’re anything like I used to be, it’s easy to get caught up in the strategy, the numbers, the next thing on your to-do list… and completely forget about actually feeling good while doing it. I grew up believing pleasure was selfish. Indulgent. Distracting. Especially as a woman and especially as someone raised in a conservative Christian household. But here’s what I’ve learned and what I break down in this week’s episode of the Cycle Advantage Podcast: Feeling good isn’t just a bonus. It’s essential. For your energy. For your magnetism. For your business success. Here’s What I Break Down Inside This Episode: ➡️ Why I believe in building a Pleasure First Business and how that connects to cycle syncing and feminine leadership ➡️ How feeling good directly impacts sales, client attraction, and business growth ➡️ Why so many women feel guilty about pleasure and how to rewrite that story ➡️ The science behind pleasure: dopamine, creativity, and energetic magnetism ➡️ What embodiment and presence really mean ➡️ How to balance masculine business strategy with feminine flow Instead of chasing the next strategy or viral post, what if you started with one question: How do I want to feel today? That’s where it begins. Not just in business but in life When you focus on feeling good first, everything else follows. Better ideas. More clarity. Stronger client connections. True success. This Episode Is For You If You’ve Ever: ✨ Felt burnt out from trying to “do all the things” in your business ✨ Wondered how to balance structure and flow as a woman entrepreneur ✨ Struggled to own your desires or felt guilty for wanting more ✨ Needed permission to slow down and reconnect with what actually lights you up You don’t have to sacrifice pleasure for productivity. In fact when you prioritize pleasure, that’s where real productivity starts. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

The “How to Keep More of Your Money” Tax Strategy Every Business Owner Needs To Hear with Tiffany Phillips
We’ve been told a thousand times over to "know our worth." But what happens when we start actually charging it? What happens when our business grows… and so does our income… and suddenly, we’re navigating tax brackets, money guilt, and a silent fear that we’ll be judged for wanting more? In this episode, I’m joined by Tiffany Phillips, a powerhouse CPA and Tax Strategist, for one of the most liberating money convos I’ve ever had. We peeled back the layers on ambition, guilt, and what it really looks like when women claim their financial power. We had the kind of conversation that most women crave but rarely get to hear: real talk about money, the guilt that lingers under success and how to build wealth without burning out or playing small. Also, if the word taxes makes you want to run and hide, this episode is for you. In this episode, we also broke down: ✔️ Why women still feel guilty about ambition and how to rewrite that story ✔️ How to actually use tax strategy to your advantage (instead of avoiding it) ✔️ What your CPA should really be doing for you (hint: it’s more than filing) ✔️ Why understanding your finances is power, not pressure ✔️ How political shifts impact your taxes and why you can’t afford to ignore it ✔️ The truth about tax incentives (and how they’re often built for the already-wealthy) ✔️ Why so many of us feel “bad with money” and how to reclaim our financial literacy ✔️ The critical mindset shift from fear-based finance to empowered wealth creation Meet Tiffany Tiffany Phillips is a trusted tax strategist and founder of Phillips Business Group, where she helps women entrepreneurs take control of their biggest expense—taxes—so they can build profitable, sustainable businesses with confidence. As a CPA and MBA, Tiffany specializes in showing six- and seven-figure business owners how to legally and strategically reduce their tax bills by 30% or more—without the confusion or overwhelm. Her mission is clear: to empower entrepreneurs with the financial clarity they need to scale, hire, invest, and grow generational wealth. Tiffany is also the author of Your Biggest Expense: How to Legally Pay Less in Taxes and Keep More Wealth and the creator of practical, approachable courses that make complex tax topics simple and actionable—whether it’s deciding on an S Corp election, planning estimated payments, or uncovering powerful tax-saving strategies. Beyond the spreadsheets, Tiffany is a wife, mom of two, wellness advocate, and speaker who believes women deserve financial freedom and the tools to build businesses on their terms. Her work is rooted in helping women keep more of what they earn so they can lead, give, and live more boldly. Ready to Grow Your Business in Flow Without Burning Out?

What Motherhood Is Really Teaching You About Yourself with Carly Ely

What Motherhood Is Really Teaching You About Yourself with Carly Ely
They say motherhood changes you but what they don’t tell you is that it reveals you. Every trigger, every tantrum, every moment you snap and feel guilt bubbling under your skin. It will hold up a mirror to the parts of you you’ve spent years avoiding. The parts that feel tender, reactive, and raw. And that’s exactly what this week’s episode is all about. I sat down with Carly Ely, and we cracked open the truth about what motherhood is really asking of us. Not the Pinterest-perfect version but the real, soul-stretching journey of learning how to parent while still discovering who you are. If you've ever wondered why motherhood feels like a spiritual awakening (but no one gave you a guidebook for it), you're going to feel so seen in this conversation. We Also Talked About: ✨ The way triggers point to unhealed parts of you and have nothing to do with your child’s behavior ✨ Why your worth has nothing to do with how well your child performs ✨ The grief that hits when you realize time is moving way too fast ✨ How motherhood becomes the mirror for your own emotional growth ✨ What it actually means to break generational cycles (without perfection) ✨ The shift from control to connection and how to let your guard down ✨ The quiet shame we carry and how self-compassion sets us free This Episode Is for You If You’ve Ever… ✔ Felt like motherhood was asking you to do deep inner work (but didn’t know where to start) ✔ Needed a reminder that growth and grace can coexist ✔ Been trying to break cycles without burning out ✔ Felt like your kids were showing you what you still needed to heal ✔ Struggled with shame and wondered if you were the only one This conversation will validate your journey, soften your shame, and remind you that you’re not alone in the messy middle. Meet Carly Carly Ely is a conscious motherhood coach, subconscious reprogramming expert, and neurodivergent mom of two. She combines her background as a school psychologist along with her training and study of the reparenting and spirituality to guide women through the process of healing and rediscovering themselves in motherhood.

Why Most Coaches are Stuck and Struggling and How a Body Based Business Shifts Everything with Brianna Rose
There was a time in my business journey where I truly believed that more effort = more results. That if I could just master the strategy, stick to the schedule, and keep showing up consistently, I'd finally “make it.” But then my body started whispering. Then it started screaming.

The Fight We’re Not Talking About: Trauma, Power & Belonging with Laurien Zurhake

The Fight We’re Not Talking About: Trauma, Power & Belonging with Laurien Zurhake
What if I told you your power doesn’t come from being strong, but from being safe? In this week's podcast episode, I sat down with Laurien Zurhake, a martial arts expert, educator, and absolute powerhouse and we cracked open a conversation that completely flipped the narrative around self-defense, trauma, and what it really means for women to reclaim their bodies. We talked about trauma-informed spaces, patriarchal systems in martial arts, and how competition without collaboration has hurt more women than it’s helped. And if you’ve ever felt like the world wasn’t built for your softness, your intuition, your rhythm.. this one’s for you. We didn’t just talk about martial arts… We also dove into: ✨ Why trauma-informed practice isn’t optional (it’s the foundation for true growth and safety) ✨ How martial arts can be a powerful tool for healing but only in the right environment ✨ Why women still face invisible barriers in male-dominated training spaces and how we can change that ✨ How ecological dynamics reshape the way we learn, move, and relate to our bodies ✨ How collaboration beats competition (and why a scarcity mindset is keeping women small) ✨How healing starts when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to exhale. ✨ How even children pick up on safety cues and what that tells us about the environments we create ✨ Why women make incredible leaders in martial arts and why it’s time we stop asking for permission 🎙️ Listen Now This conversation is a must-listen if you: 👉 Want to understand how trauma impacts performance + confidence 👉 Are craving safe, supportive spaces to grow your strength 👉 Believe in business (and life) that honors both power and softness Meet Laurien Originally from the Netherlands, Laurien studied (Ancient) History in Nijmegen and at Oxford University (Brasenose College) and pursued a PhD in Munich (topic was Pain Behaviour). She met there her husband on the martial arts mats and due to sexual harassment by their headcoach, Laurien and her husband Alex decided to open their own Trauma Informed Martial Arts and Yoga School. Since that approach is still in its infancy in the martial arts domain, Laurien created her online platform Off the Zone, where she helps martial arts coaches, athletes and gym owners become trauma informed and how to implement effective safeguarding measures so that everyone can train hard and thrive safely.

Why Growth Can Feel So Hard Even When You’re Ready for It with Kate Gregory
This episode might be one of the most important ones I’ve ever recorded. Not because it was perfectly polished. But because it was real. Raw. Unfiltered. The kind of conversation that lingers in your body long after it’s over. Kate Gregory and I dove into the things most people don’t say out loud, the parts of entrepreneurship, womanhood, motherhood, and healing that don’t always fit inside a perfectly curated feed. We talked about what it actually looks like to grow a business and a life that feels aligned when you’re also unraveling old stories, healing generational wounds, and redefining your own spiritual truth. There’s no formula for this journey. But there is a deeper truth waiting for you in this conversation. Here’s a glimpse of what we explored: ➡️ Why grace is a non-negotiable in entrepreneurship (especially when life feels messy) ➡️ What it means to receive: support, love, rest, abundance and why so many women struggle with it ➡️ The invisible ways religious and cultural conditioning shape your self-worth, leadership, and trust in your own authority ➡️ How reparenting and spiritual growth go hand-in-hand ➡️ The real reason your inner child keeps getting triggered… and how to shift it ➡️ Why self-healing is your superpower (and how to stop waiting for permission) ➡️ The difference between codependent and empowered relationships ➡️ The nuanced conversation around “new age” beliefs, spiritual bypassing, and taking radical responsibility ➡️ What it looks like to reclaim your power as a woman on your terms This one is for the woman who’s done performing. The woman who’s ready to remember who she really is. Meet Kate Kate Gregory is a Women’s Holistic Hormone Health Practitioner who helps women in their 30s naturally balance their hormones, boost energy, and improve periods — without birth control or burnout.

What Every Woman Needs to Know About Grief and Growth
You can be incredibly capable and still cry in the shower. You can lead a business, raise a family, and hold space for others while silently navigating waves of grief, loss, or healing that no one else sees. In this intimate and powerful conversation, I sat down with JoBeth Evans—widow, mother, hypnotherapist, and grief guide who brings so much permission, power, and perspective to the table. This episode isn't about grief in the way you've probably heard it talked about. It's about reclaiming your emotions and giving yourself radical permission to feel it all even (especially) when the world expects you to hold it together. Whether you’re grieving a person, a past version of yourself, a lost dream, or a chapter that didn’t go the way you planned, this episode is your invitation to finally breathe, feel, and move forward with grace and power. We also talked about… ✨ Why “being strong” might actually be your nervous system in survival mode ✨ What it means to let your inner child be in the car but not drive the damn thing ✨ The guilt and grief that comes with new love after loss ✨ How unmet expectations quietly wreck your relationships (and how to shift it) ✨ Why victimhood isn’t a virtue (and how to tell the difference between feeling your feelings and staying stuck) ✨ How subconscious beliefs from childhood still shape your patterns today ✨ What “moving forward” actually looks like (and why it’s not a straight line) 🎧 Listen in now and let this conversation be your reminder: You are not behind. You are not broken. You are in process and that is sacred. Meet Jobeth JoBeth Evans is a life coach and certified Grief Recovery Specialist who lost her husband to brain cancer at 33.

The Truth About Women’s Health No One’s Telling You with Natalie Garay
Most women are taught to numb the symptoms. Pop a pill. Power through. Hustle harder. And when things still don’t feel right? They’re told, “You’re fine. It’s normal.” But what if it’s not? What if the bloating, burnout, mood swings, and mystery symptoms are your body’s wisest language begging you to pay attention? In this deeply resonant conversation, I sat down with Natalie Garay, a movement mentor turned naturopath-in-training to uncover the hidden truths about women’s health, the broken systems we’re waking up from, and what it really means to come home to your body. We’re not just talking about health here. We’re talking about taking back what’s always been yours.. your rhythm, your voice, your feminine edge. We also went deep on: ✅ Why real connection (in life and business) can’t be replaced by a screen ✅ The truth about nutrition (and why it’s so much more than “eat clean”) ✅The testing your doctor isn’t runningb but should be ✅ How the current medical system keeps women in the dark ✅ Why you must become your own fiercest health advocate ✅ The major gaps in women’s health education (even in med school) ✅ Why symptom tracking is a form of self-leadership ✅ What hormones are actually telling you (it’s not just about periods and PMS) ✅ And the radical idea that your body already knows what she needs (if you’d only stop overriding her) Tune in now and start honoring the signals your body’s been sending you. Meet Natalie Natalie is your go-to for cutting through the noise and getting real answers about your health. With a no-BS approach, she helps women over 40 ditch outdated advice and take back control of their bodies. She’s been there, done the trial-and-error, and knows exactly what works.

The Courage to Be Seen: Alva Gardner on Breaking Stigmas Around Disability, Sexuality, and Success

The Courage to Be Seen: Alva Gardner on Breaking Stigmas Around Disability, Sexuality, and Success
Have you ever met someone who redefines what courage looks like? There are moments that crack you open in the best way and my conversation with Alva Gardner in this podcast episode was exactly that. Alva is a speaker, advocate, and unapologetically bold woman living with cerebral palsy who reminded me just how powerful it is to own your voice as you are. This episode is for every woman who’s been told she’s “too different,” “too much,” or “not enough” because those differences? That’s where your magic lives. This is what I mean when I talk about disrupting hustle culture and doing business in alignment with your body, your story, your truth. Disability isn’t something to fix, hide, or fear. It’s part of the human experience and when we honor that, we stop creating systems that work for the few and start building spaces that work for all of us. And honestly? If that’s not feminine leadership, I don’t know what is. We also talked about: ✔️ How Alva’s public speaking journey began at just 8 years old and why her voice is more powerful because of her difference, not despite it ✔️ Why embracing your “too muchness” or “not-enoughness” is exactly what makes you magnetic and impactful ✔️ How Alva uses humor, grace, and real talk to shift perceptions and break stigma ✔️ The quiet power of being raised by someone who presumed ability, not limitation and how that shaped Alva’s identity ✔️ The taboo truths about sexuality and disability (and why access, autonomy, and education matter so much more than we think) ✔️ How to reframe disability as a natural, inevitable part of the human experience (not something to fix or fear) “There's such a misconception of disability as a category, disability as a group of people, that people who don't yet experience disability, have and don't have a connection to disability, have this perception that that is always how it will be.” Alva Gardner This conversation will stretch your heart, expand your mind, and leave you thinking about your own visibility in a whole new way.

What Most Women in Business Are Missing (And How to Get It Back)

What Most Women in Business Are Missing (And How to Get It Back)
Something powerful happens when women gather. Not to plan. Not to hustle. But to remember who they are. That’s exactly what happened at the Awaken Retreat, and I’m still integrating all the magic that unfolded. So much came through that I had to record a full podcast episode to share it with you. And friend, if your soul is craving depth, alignment, and that grounded “this is who I really am” kind of energy, this episode is for you. Here’s a peek at what I dive into… ✅ The power of gathering with women who are all so different yet create the most soul-aligned, supportive energy together ✅What it actually means to awaken your feminine leadership and stop leading from your head ✅Why your womb space is a portal for intuitive, creative leadership (and how this applies even if you don’t have a uterus) ✅ The truth about why we’ve been conditioned to disconnect from our bodies, our sensuality, and our desires ✅ A practice I use in Your Cycle Advantage that helps women reconnect with their desires ✅ The difference between cognitive alignment (makes sense) vs. energetic alignment (feels undeniable) and how to build your business from that space If you’ve been building your business from the neck up, wondering why things still feel hard or misaligned... If you’ve been craving more play, more permission, more purpose... If you’ve felt the nudge to stop doing it like everyone else and finally start leading from within... This episode will be like a breath of fresh air (and a fire in your belly 🔥). You don’t need to add more to your plate. You don’t need to follow another five-step strategy.

From Proving to Power: The Feminine Shift That Creates Offers that Sell Themselves
You know that feeling when you’re creating an offer and suddenly you're like… “Okay but is this enough?” “Should I throw in another bonus?” “Maybe add a Voxer thread, a workbook, six coaching calls, and a puppy for good measure??” Yeah. Been there. For a long time, I used to equate more with value. And if I’m being really honest, it came from a place of self-doubt. I was terrified that someone would join my program and think, “Wait… this is it?” So I overcompensated. I stacked and stuffed and overdelivered not out of generosity, but from fear. In this week’s podcast episode, I’m peeling back the curtain on that pattern: the one so many of us fall into when we’re building offers from our ego instead of our essence. I also talked about: 📌 Why I used to overdeliver + undercharge (and how that backfired) 📌The real reason your offer doesn’t need more stuff 📌 The sneaky way ego shows up in your offers (yes, even when you mean well) 📌 How to shift from proving your worth to fully owning it 📌 Why your offer becomes magnetic when it’s rooted in purpose 📌 The secret to creating offers that feel good AND sell (no hustle required). Because here’s what I’ve learned (and what I want to pass on to you)… Value doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from being more aligned. So if you’ve been questioning your offers… wondering if they’re “enough” in all the ways.. this episode is your reminder that real value isn’t about more stuff, it’s about deeper alignment.
